Hi I'm looking for a set of different reactions per user. It will be nice if I can populate a list with all possible reactions, and users to be able to choose some/all of them.

Hi @gadzhov,

To use custom reactions, you can add configuration to the StreamChat widget:

    StreamChat(
        client: client,
        streamChatConfigData: StreamChatConfigurationData(
          reactionIcons: [
            StreamReactionIcon(
              type: 'love',
              builder: (context, highlighted, size) {
                // Build your reaction
              },
            ),
          ],
        ),
        child: widget,
      ),

However, the default functionality and look of the picker can't be changed at the moment and it is not currently something we plan to do. We may circle back to it and try to make it a bit more customizable but we have some time to get there.

Hope this helps. Thanks!
